Beer Garden Opens at 3:30pm with the JKATS taking the stage at 4pm for our first ever Cruise Warm-Up Party.  Lions Beer Garden food will be ready and you can pick a great seat for the annual cruise event.

Jack Knife & The Sharps, led by the exceptional vintage guitar playing of Rick Hollister, is one of the leading rockabilly bands playing in Minnesota today.  Rockabilly and roots music fans enjoy Rick Hollister’s precise, deep-toned guitar sounds and right-on-the-money vocals and find the relentless rhythms from the bass and drums to be irresistible. Jack Knife & The Sharps’ primary musical style is rockabilly, although they blend different musical styles with ease and artistry. Country, blues, swing, and surf sounds all come together in one of the most spirited sets of good-time, rockin’ music you will hear. Hollister’s original songs are also standouts that could have been written 40 years ago and when the band plays the classics, they do it with a unique upbeat style that can't help but get under your skin. The group roars onto the stage like a custom-built vintage car with all the chrome and flash and no muffler. Their music is fast, loud, fun and definitely made for dancing. Retro rockers, rockabilly fans, and swing dancers count them as one of their favorite dance bands in the Upper Midwest.
